How to treat my deeply cut lip?!
Question: How to treat my deeply cut lip?
I was petting my cat and talking to him, and there was a loud bang in the kitchen...he got all scared and scrambled up my face. His claw got buried in my lip (literally buried, there was hardly any blood), and it really hurt. Now, the whole area is purple and blue from the blood coming from who-knows-where and some of the blue is showing in the area below the lower lip. The whole area feels cold.
Should I treat it, or just leave it alone?

please get it checked out by a doc. you may need a stitch or have the doc release the blood out (sounds gross)
I would go to the Doctors tomorrow and get it checked out, you want to make sure a piece of his claw isn't still in there.And make sure there's no infection.
For now keep it clean.
The cool thing about lips is that it's one of the fastest rejuvenating part of the skin. don't worry, it will heal quickly over time. Though wash your lips from possible bacteria
